GigNet to Provide High-Speed Broadband to Grupo Xcaret Parks and Hotels in the Mexican Caribbean
Nature and technology come together to enhance the guest experience and support sustainable tourism in the region
GigNet is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Grupo Xcaret, the renowned leader in eco-tourism and hospitality, to provide high-speed broadband internet across Xcaret's parks and hotels. The initiative aims to significantly enhance the visitor experience with seamless connectivity, which is essential for sharing on social media, while supporting Xcaret's commitment to the environment.
As part of this collaboration, GigNet will provide robust and reliable internet services, ensuring that guests at Xcaret's stunning parks and luxury hotels enjoy unmatched connectivity. This advanced digital infrastructure will allow visitors to share their memorable experiences in real time, driving greater engagement and visibility on social media platforms.
GigNet's Digital Transformation Services platform starts with true dedicated connectivity to customer locations, built on more than 400 km of fiber optic network assets, and is complemented by managed services for network monitoring, bandwidth on demand and other services that support customers' IT staff.
With digital connectivity becoming more important than ever, this partnership reflects a shared vision of meeting and exceeding guest expectations. High-speed internet will let visitors instantly upload photos, videos and stories that showcase the natural beauty and unique experiences Xcaret offers. Enhanced connectivity also makes it easier to access digital services, including online reservations, virtual tours and interactive guides, for a richer and more convenient visitor journey.
In line with Grupo Xcaret's deep commitment to environmental sustainability, GigNet's advanced broadband solutions are designed to minimize ecological impact. The cutting-edge technology being deployed ensures energy efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint, in step with Xcaret's ongoing efforts to preserve the natural ecosystems that make its parks and hotels unique.
Luis de Potestad, Vice President of Public Affairs and Special Projects at GigNet, said: "According to the Quintana Roo Ministry of Tourism, the Mexican Caribbean has more than 130,000 hotel rooms, with an occupancy rate that exceeded 75% in 2023. On average, visitors bring about seven devices per room on vacation. That translates into nearly 700,000 devices connected to the internet at any given time across Quintana Roo, which underscores the need for seamless connectivity. We are excited to partner with Grupo Xcaret, a highly successful organization that shares our dedication to innovation and sustainability. Our secure, high-speed internet services will not only enhance the guest experience but also support Xcaret's environmental goals by leveraging technology that prioritizes energy efficiency and minimal ecological disruption. Nature and technology have never worked together so seamlessly."
